Did Wipeout Get Cancelled? – Celebrity

The reason was never specified. In fact, Total Wipeout remained popular throughout its time of broadcast and so many could not figure out the BBC’s reasoning for cancelling the show. In fact, the BBC had to confirm that the show’s potential for injury – and therefore legal action – was not the reason it was cancelled.

The competition series hit some lows in the ratings last summer, was left off the schedule this summer, and now, it’s been removed from the network’s website. On Wipeout, contestants try to make it through the “world’s largest obstacle course.” The person that makes it in the shortest time wins a cash prize.

“One of the interesting things is that Wipeout left six years ago, but it never left the internet,” Kunitz told EW. Wipeout returns with a 10-episode run starting on April 1. What’s kept the fandom alive to get to this moment may not surprise you.
